How can I georeference an unrotated image by knowing two Lat/Lng coordinates?

I tried to transform the coordinates to UTM, but this didn't work (for me), because I also need to rotate it and calculate with the angles, which seems to be complicated.

My aim is to calculate every other coordinate of the image by clicking on it.

Suppose you know that pixel (50, 75) is at (8.3, 2.3) degrees and pixel (250, 900) is at (12.3, 6.3) degrees.

Then your pixel width W is (12.3-8.3)/(250-50) and your pixel height H is (6.3 - 2.3)/(900-75)

Then your top left corner (centre of pixel (0,0)) is at (8.3 - 50*W, 2.3 - 75*H) - i.e. its 50 pixel widths left of the first reference pixel, and 75 pixel heights above it).

Your bottom right corner pixel centre is at top-left + (W * Number of columns), (H * Number of rows) - i.e. its that number of pixel widths across and down.

Those calculations give you pixel centres. Divide the width and height of the image in ground units by the number of height and width columns to get a pixel width and height, and then add or subtract half of one of those from your corner pixel centres to get pixel edges. Now you have the bounding box.

Now you can write a standard "World file" or other simple georeferencer.

Note this depends on your image being properly rectified and in the correct coordinate system, and north-up, and not subject to any distortions due to camera angle or field of view. But with two reference points you can't do any better.

  Thanks, for your answer so far. Will try this. My image is a construction plan, so it is not north up, but I can calculate the correct angle and transform the coordinate system, to get the correct pixel.

Suppose you know that pixel (50, 75) is at (8.3, 2.3) degrees and pixel (250, 900) is at (12.3, 6.3) degrees.

Then your pixel width W is (12.3-8.3)/(250-50) and your pixel height H is (6.3 - 2.3)/(900-75)

Then your top left corner (centre of pixel (0,0)) is at (8.3 - 50*W, 2.3 - 75*H) - i.e. its 50 pixel widths left of the first reference pixel, and 75 pixel heights above it).

Your bottom right corner pixel centre is at top-left + (W * Number of columns), (H * Number of rows) - i.e. its that number of pixel widths across and down.

Those calculations give you pixel centres. Divide the width and height of the image in ground units by the number of height and width columns to get a pixel width and height, and then add or subtract half of one of those from your corner pixel centres to get pixel edges. Now you have the bounding box.

Now you can write a standard "World file" or other simple georeferencer.

Note this depends on your image being properly rectified and in the correct coordinate system, and north-up, and not subject to any distortions due to camera angle or field of view. But with two reference points you can't do any better.
